Whenever I'm riding the bus or in some public place and a person is listening to headphones with the volume kind of high, I usually only hear muffled noises with a few rattling drum beats thrown in, but a couple of days ago there was a patron in the next aisle blasting his headphones so loud I could hear the vocals and picked out which song was being listened to in only a few seconds...sort of like playing Name That Tune. I cringe at the damage being done to this person's hearing, but I guess you don't need your ears to read.

As someone who finds loud noises physically painful, I often wonder how people can stand having their music cranked so high, but I suppose they wouldn't do it if they weren't deriving some pleasure from it. Perhaps I am just hopelessly old fashioned, but I really miss the old Tri-Met signs that said "keep your stereo personal", as well as the basic civilized level of courtesy implied therein.

I won't even get started on the fact that many people feel perfectly entitled to behave like cretins in the library...

About Me

I'm an amateur cartoonist/library worker who decided to try my hand at putting together a cartoon log, also known as a "clog."
Originally from New Mexico, I've spent the past 10 years living in the great city of Portland, Oregon.
A couple of people have asked me what software I use to draw these cartoons. Currently it's the pre-installed Paint program that comes with Windows. I actually appreciate the simplicity of it, but maybe one day I'll invest in something with more bells and whistles.
